Belkin Wireless adapter issues

[falonyn]

I did, but I can run it again just to be sure when I get home from work this evening.

[falonyn]

I believe I did, yes.

[Rexilion]

Thank you for confirming.

It seems that the device suddenly disconnect's itself from the USB bus (not the network):

[126595.782020] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan0: link becomes ready
[126709.336810] usb 3-2: USB disconnect, device number 6
[126709.337817] wlan0: deauthenticating from 00:22:75:52:80:ce by local choice (reason=3)
[126709.436360] cfg80211: All devices are disconnected, going to restore regulatory settings

Deauthentication by local choice huh?

Could you do the following:

- Unplug device
- sudo stop networkmanager
- sudo NetworkManager --no-daemon >& ~/nm_log.txt
- Plug in USB
- Connect to internet
- Wait for connection to drop
- In the terminal where you ran NetworkManager press 'CTRL+C'
- sudo start networkmanager
- Please provide the output of: ~/nm_log.txt

Good luck!

NetworkManager is already running (pid 838)

That is all that came up, although any time that I typed in "sudo stop/start network manager", I got "stop/start: Unknown job: networkmanager"

I am unsure as to why.

And it looks like you have found what the issue is, but for some reason it never stops showing me connected to the wireless network. I just lose internet connectivity.

Thank you!

[Rexilion]

Ah, that is because:

sudo stop networkmanager

should be

sudo stop network-manager

Sorry for that, Gentoo habit .

[Rexilion]

Did you encounter/apply/try the procedures/bug encountered here?

Of not, please provide the output of:

cat /etc/network/interfaces

Do you have more wireless devices attached to this box?

If yes, seems like the 'fix' is a dirty workaround for devices not supporting everything NetworkManager requires (I think). But this option is only worth investigating if that is the issue.

[falonyn]

That did not sound at all like what I am running into. I never get anything about the "offline mode". Even when it is not working, it still says that it is connected to the network.

That is the only wireless device I have connected too. The only other thing I have hooked up through USB has been an external HD which works perfectly.

[Rexilion]

Good, then please provide the output of:

sudo cat /etc/network/interfaces
